I'm still searching for the film crew :-[
Now, if they could just sort their homepage up so it's more browse friendly...

I found it easily enough, Silversixx. The film crew arrived in the same order.
Just look in the 100 Club and choose In Production.

Drop Nic at Eureka an e-mail and he'll sort you out :)
That usually works for me when I don't have the patience to wait for stuff to get up on the website.

Works for me too.  :-*

I gather from a good source that the guys there are very helpful and approachable... I imagine something like this...



"Hello? Eureka?"
"What can we do for yer cobber?"
"Erm... have you released the 20's Jazz band? If so, can I have a set?"
"Sure... how about some warrior mice while yer at it?"
"Erm... okay..."
"Good call!"

 ;)

Catching up on LAF after all the holiday disruptions - these are very cool, glad someone's finally made a full band and dancers, too!

We've been talking for about three years about interwar gangster gaming, I think I'm going to have to make an order to Eureka sometime early this year and get these, along with that neat tchanka for my RCW forces...

This! I can't make head nor tail of the Eureka home page, and its a shame since they make damned fine figures!

Fighting 15s sell Eureka figures in Europe. I always go to them. Not sure they always have absolutely everything (currently their 1920s Civilians page has nothing on it), but they have always satisfied my Eureka-related needs.

I've done that as well in the past. But, to order stuff you need to find it on the Eureka homepage first ;)

It is a challenge. You can take one route and find nothing, then start again from another tack and find what just what you want.  ::)
Still, I prefer that to the several efficient, idiot-friendly websites, that actually have nothing I'd want to buy...

I just email Nic and admit I'm lost.  He tells me exactly what to do, I do it and I'm done and dusted (and $100 poorer, but what the heck? It's only money).

Go to the 100 Club tab.  Click on the links (blue 100 club, then "In Production" then the figures you want to add to your cart.  Fill in the required info and you're good to go.

Word of warning: they don't have the prices listed yet, but in that first page of the 100/300 club thing you can get an idea of what you'll be paying, give or take.  And things you never intended to add to your cart might just fall in. (I'm looking at you, Film Crew!)

There is a trick to it. Ian does not post everthing in the shop but often has a small stash of rare items hidden away. An email often get you sorted.

I personally would love to see the website updated and more user friendly. Though being honest I just go down the store most times I get eureka and Nic shows me the new stuff and most of the rest of the minis are painted up and in display cases. There is also books with all the minis in them on the desk which helps.
 
If there is a physical store, then I must get myself and an empty suitcase to Australia.  I suspect it will be every bit as dangerous as the time we visited Foundry...

I got my grubby mits on Eureka's George Formby mini in the UK by emailing Nic. He very helpfully offered to bring it to the next show (Salute IIRC), so you can maybe arrange a per-order and pick up.

Just got mine a few days ago - I have been a jazz fan for ages and I just could not resist, I was swept away when I read the announcement and got the dancers too..

The band looks even better when you have in front of you than it does in the photos. I think the line up is supposed to be Louis Armstrong, Bessie Smith, Johnny Dodds (clarinet) Baby Dodds (drums), Kid Ory (trombone), Johnny St. Cyr (Banjo), Jelly Roll Morton (piano), John LIndsay (double bass). Dancers unidentified.. yet..

I am dreaming of a grand plan to build up a major set with them and a number of other figures.. probably willl never see the light ... but....

Any suggestions of figures that could be used as possible audience?

Sent a goon to get me that jazz set *and* the film crew at Salute. Got them in the mail today and let me tell you: they are fucking good.
